<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the rationale used in the BGC’s recommendation against the NCSG’s Reconsideration Request, the BGC argues that:</span></font><u5:p></u5:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u5:p><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></font></u5:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">“There is no defined policy process within ICANN that requires Board or staff consultation with the GNSO Council if the Board or staff is acting in contravention
to a statement made by the GNSO Council outside of the Policy Development Process. Therefore, even if staff’s action here was in direct contravention to the GNSO Council statement in a letter, the Bylaws requirement for consultation does not apply…”<br>
<br>
Technically and legally, the BGC is correct. As much as this goes against the very nature of the multi-stakeholder model (and frankly the message ICANN delivers to the world), the ICANN Board/staff is free to ignore the GNSO Council (and thus has no accountability
for these actions). This is true despite the fact that the Bylaws also state: “</span></font><span lang="EN">There shall be a policy-development body known as the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), which shall be responsible for developing and
recommending to the ICANN Board substantive policies relating to generic top-level domains.” Therefore, what the BGC is telling us is that despite the fact that the Bylaws charges the GNSO with developing and recommending substantive policies, it can ignore
the GNSO community at any time if the issue did not go through a formal PDP.<u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt"><u5:p> </u5:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt">I personally believe that is broken. Therefore, I would like for the Council to consider recommending to the ICANN Board a change to the Bylaws for an
additional measure of accountability that at a minimum would require some form of consultation if the GNSO Council (on behalf of the GNSO Community) issues a recommendation or develops policy outside of a formal PDP. As the former chair of the PDP Working
Group that helped revise the PDP process, I can tell you that we were encouraged by the community to allow other mechanisms for developing policy outside of formal PDPs. We spent countless hours on this very topic. Yes, if it does not go through a formal
PDP, it may not trigger a 2/3 Board vote to overturn the recommendation, but it was never our intention that after going through that process, the Board to IGNORE the GNSO Community. At a time when the community is trying to find ways to develop policies
outside of the stringent PDP, this is NOT an incentive for doing that.<u5:p></u5:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Calibri"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
Therefore, I would like to see the following changes made to the Bylaws (no pride in authorship here…so feel free to suggest other words). This is language that is VERY similar to the language the GAC has in the Bylaws:<u5:p></u5:p></span></font></p>

relating to generic top-level domains shall be duly taken into account, both in the formulation and adoption of policies, whether or not the policy development process as set forth in Article X, section 6 were followed. In the event that the ICANN Board determines
to take an action that is not consistent with the GNSO policies or recommendations, it shall so inform the GNSO and state the reasons why it decided not to follow that advice. The GNSO and the ICANN Board will then try, in good faith and in a timely and efficient
manner, to find a mutually acceptable solution.<a name="XI-2.1k" moz-do-not-send="true"></a> If no such solution can be found, the ICANN Board will state in its final decision the reasons why the GNSO recommendations or policies were not followed.<u5:p></u5:p></span></font></i></p>
